D-Charges

Demolition (or simply D) Charges is the generic name for any number of remotely detonated explosive charges. As a weapon, they have been designed to demolish structures, objectives and terrain alike, but they can also be used in Close Combat.

D-Charges Skill

To be able to deploy a D-Charge in Deployable Mode, the user must be in or enter base to base contact with the target.

To be able to use a D-Charge in CC Mode, the user must be in or enter base to base contact with an enemy trooper.

EFFECTS

The D-Charges possess two different Modes of use from which players can choose.

Deployable Mode. Using D-Charges as Deployable Weapons is a two-step process: Planting and Detonating.

Planting a D-Charge on a piece of scenery or on an enemy trooper in an Immobilized (IMM-1 or IMM-2) or any Null state. In base to base contact, spend one Short Skill of an Order or ARO. No Roll needed.

Detonating a D-Charge. The user, or another friendly trooper with D-Charges or the Special Skill Engineer, spends one Short Skill of an Order or an ARO (if ARO Requirements are fulfilled). No Roll needed.

D-Charges can only be detonated if they have been previously planted.

CC Mode. When engaged in CC, D-Charges function as a CC Weapon with limited uses.

D-Charges have been designed to cause a controlled, directed detonation capable of penetrating a target's armor. They have a directional cover over a hollow charge, so the explosion affects only the surface to which they are attached. This limits collateral damage and allows the operator to detonate them while in the proximity of the target. As their name implies, D-Charges are typically used for demolition purposes and they are particularly useful in destroying and dismantling vehicles, structures and walls.
